Supreme Court of Delaware

Employees' Retirement System of Rhode Island v. Sbriglio

November 9, 2021

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware refused interlocutory review of the Court of Chancery’s order selecting one group of stockholders and its counsel for leadership roles in a consolidated derivative action. The Court held that the application did not satisfy the strict certification standards because no exceptional circumstances existed and the benefits of immediate review did not outweigh the likely inefficiency, disruption, and costs.
